CCTM::filter('2014-09-28','datef','M d, Y') returns todays date

This worked fine in previous versions (0.9.7.6), returned the correct date.

Does not work in 0.9.7.13. Always returns todays date.

opk, further investigation.  It's not the version of CCTM, it's the version of 
PHP

PHP Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.8
var_dump of json_decode("2014-04-27",true) is NULL 
This works, since the code determines it is not valid JSON, and just returns 
the string.

However: 
PHP Version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4
var_dump of json_decode("2014-04-27",true) is int(2014) 
fails, because the result is not void, it assumes it's a multi, and the date 
will display as today's date.

The calls that are affected by this that I have found so far are on:
Line 82 of includes/CCTM_OutputFilter.php
Line 673 of includes/CCTM_FormElement.php

I fixed them in my instance by only doing the json_decode if it looks like a 
json string...

    if (!is_array($str)) {          
        $firstChar = mb_substr($str, 0, 1, 'utf-8');  // Simon Added
        if ($firstChar == '{' || $firstChar == '[') {  // Simon Added
                $out = (array) json_decode($str, true);
            }  // Simon Added
         }
